Verdict

MERMAIDS CAVE was having just her second start for James Owen when scoring in decisive fashion here last week and a 7 lb penalty may not be enough to prevent a follow-up success. Tara Iti and Mac Be Lucky can also make their presence felt.

  1. MERMAIDS CAVE (IRE)
  2. TARA ITI
  3. MAC BE LUCKY
